As Yet Unnamed Entry - RTS against 'the empire'

[Eric]

If you think your programmer art is bad, you haven't seen mine (which you you should see soon).

RTS is interesting - hopefully not too ambitious -get those units rolling!

Well, progress is being made... Code for some dialogs is under way, the launcher works and the building queue is in place... Now you can scroll around, right click any space and see available options Not bad... Time tog et to some content making and GUI design

Edit: Just a thought, but whats the view on recycling code from your own codebase for use in the PGD entry?

[code_glitch]

Wow, integrating some old code for window and control management to produce an interactive, 'dynamically generated' interface went better than expected... It still has some art and text from the old program but hey, the fundamentals are there right?

for those whom are curious, that window is made from a script file (this exact one as it where ):

Edit: Forgot to mention, dragging windows is ugly, and its clitchy but for such a short job, I'll call it progress

Nice! Any chance of a larger screenshot? The attached one is rather small to see all the details...

I agree, and I've had the same outcome for my attached screen-shots too (they got downsized and blurred).

@WILL: any chance of loosening up the restrictions for attached screen-shots?
Hosting the image elsewhere is possible but will have other issues (dead links, no thumbnails...)

[code_glitch]

Well another screenshot with some fixed bugs, a more appropriate interface and the working dialog system for making stuff... In HD since I linked to my public file on dropbox

[paul_nicholls]

Very nice!
